Thanks very much, and also thanks to all those french guys who have nothing
else to do with their time than bashing folk on irc, while proposing GRs to
recall the DPL and other such nonsense.

so what ? you don't like Don's proposal, then you should have proposed an
amendment to say something else. Voting further discussion doesn't mean voting
for the opposite of don's amendment, it just means that you believe it should
be further discussed, for whatever reason, either because you don't like the
syntax, there is a typo in it you want corrected, you think there should be
another amendment represeting the opposite view, or you consulted your
astronomer and he said you it is not an auspisious day for holding a vote.

A full no-op, so i am not going to vote on it. (or maybe i should, and vote
both FD and the proposal equally ?).
